Who narrated this video? It sounds so much like Traveling Robert who travels all over the country and does lots of narrating his travels. Either way, great video! Long enough to get some enjoyment out of watching it.

Glad you're enjoying it! Javier Cerdans did the narration. He makes a brief appearance at 2:13 to talk about the Caravaca Cross.

I visit St Augustine often; I've become increasingly more inpatient with City Commissioners of St Augustine. More and More they are drowning out the Spanish and bringing forth the British. My last visit you were hard pressed to even see a Spanish Flag, but they spared no expense on a British and Canadian flag every 10 feet on the main streets. I also resent this advertisement that puts the British Flag bookend by the Spanish and American Flag. The British have no significant marking on St Augustine; infact they spent considerable years trying to convince History and American's James Town was the United States first official city. It should be the United States Flag Bookended by Spain and England.
